Months and Months ago, a friend asked me to create a pattern for this symbol. It was slightly out of my norm since this is not my religion, but I was up to the challenge :) Graphs are not my favorite thing to do since you often have more than 1 skein of yarn attached to the project at the same time. The other thing I'm not a fan of is that most graphs are worked in Single Crochet (it seems to take for ever to make things with). But, I have designed one before and I knew I could do it again.
Now, when it comes to graphs, I know a bunch of people who use some software and just put the photo in and it will give you the graph. I personally do not trust that process. I've just seen a few things not look the way they should once crocheted even though it looks good on paper. So, as usual, I actually worked up the project and made the adjustments as I crocheted. It was frogged a few times but overall, I'm happy with the end result.
Since this is a Religious symbol, the graph is available for free on my website. It is only a graph of the symbol and not a written pattern for making a specific item. It could be used for a variety of things such as a scarf, wall hanging or pillow. I was designing it to be used by a preacher, so I chose to use Caron Simply Soft yarn. Because it's on the thinner side of WW yarn and it's soft, it gives a better feel for a scarf.
So, if you are interested in making one, It is available for free and instant download here:
